Most peeps recommend taking off the bumper to change the headlights. It can be done with removing the headlight washer cover thingy instead tho. Haven't tried either way - I've a mate at a body shop who changed the lights on my old TDi.
 He left the bumper on but managed to break some of the tabs.

I had mine replaced. The garage took the bumber off to do it. They charged me 2 hrs labour to do it.

You can get the bumper off in sub 10 minutes.... easy to do!! In fact its much easier than the prefacelift bumper because the GTI bumper its clipped on... just held on withe the torx screws!
